ITMS-90717: Invalid App Store Icon. The App Store Icon in the asset catalog can't be transparent nor contain an alpha channel
The 1024×1024 App Store icon has an alpha channel/transparency, which App Store Connect rejects.
Seen on:
iOS
Meaning
Icons exported from design tools as PNG with alpha (even fully opaque) fail. Re-export without alpha (flatten).
Common causes
- Icon PNG saved with alpha channel
- Transparent corners/background
- Missing 1024 icon in the asset catalog (ITMS-90704)
⚡ Quick fix
- Re-export the icon as PNG without alpha
- Flatten with sips or Preview
- Ensure the 1024pt icon exists in AppIcon
Detailed fix by platform
Shell
- swift
sips -g hasAlpha AppIcon-1024.png sips -s format jpeg AppIcon-1024.png --out tmp.jpg && sips -s format png tmp.jpg --out AppIcon-1024.png
How to diagnose
- Alpha — sips -g hasAlpha
- Catalog — 1024 slot filled?
